Glam Squad & Groomsmen

A skilled cosmetologist, Penny Blake is able to make every prospective bride feel special and pampered as she plans for their wedding day. Penny is doing what she loves, and while she enjoys working with Enchanted Bridal, she hopes to offer complimentary services with her own bridal beauty shop, her own unique glam squad. Until the bank approves her loan and she can get her own business off the ground, Penny becomes the go-to person in every aspect of Enchanted Bridal's business. Spencer Buchanan is a successful architect who moved to Atlanta to practice rather than work in his father's firm in his North Carolina hometown. It has been ten years since he has been home for more than a quick visit, so when his sister asks him to come home for her bridal fitting and to get his tux measured, he agrees and finds himself face-to-face with Penny, his high school girlfriend, looking more beautiful than ever as she models wedding dresses at the local shop. He can barely remember why he ended their relationship, or why he had to get out of his small town. Narrator Kathryn Lynhurst lends a neutral pace to all of the voices and delivers a steady if unaffected tone throughout.

VERDICT This is a short, sweet story about two people who fell in love at the wrong time but get a second chance to see if it can work out. The story is a bit predictable but well written and satisfying.
